After-Niväk, the concept of a Nioka changed to make Nioka still primarily functional but started to feature more religious iconify, brands of the community where the tools was made and decorative motif. In particular the use of silver edgings and frame around the knife handles.

Handles even after Niväk, still predominately use leather around the handles and the blade itself still using bone as the main blade. However, Nioka became more over time, more decorative objective as metal tools became more common place. While it is still common to see the use Nioka knives in rural areas. Clothing, cups and other utensils however are still well in use, though it is treated more as fine dining or ceremonial than everyday use. Reindeer bones and leather are still heavy feature in Nioka crafts.

=== Lacquerware ===

Nystapi Lacquerware before and after Niväk was used in religious ceremonies, example being using Nioka cups to offer liquor to the spirits. Lacquerware are treated as a closely guarded treasure, and in some cases was used as containers for storing other treasures. Pre-Niväk, lacquerware didn't hold a originate in Nystapi but rather it was trade for and majority of lacquerware artifacts originated from the southern regions of [[Borea]], which is historically curious as Nystapi people tend not to interact with the other groups outside of their own culture.

After Niväk however, lacquerware took a new life being natively produced by Nystapi for the first time. The Lacquerware produced in the beginning was only made in a religious nature, as part of their transition from folk [[Akuanism]] to more structure shrine [[Akuanism]]. The inclusion of lacquerware into more formal shrine structure, which proved to be critical during the transition and during the Blåskovian civilizing policies, as well adaption. Lacquerware became a symbol of old Nystapi culture of the pre-Niväk era, in its placement of the shrines.
